Tuesday 16 months born 16 weeks early still behind in motor skills and developmentally. She had minor damage to the cerebellum from flatlining for 10 minutes but we will be having another MRI to assess the damage and what healing has happened from the brain bleeds she had. No official diagnoses as of right now just behind and needs extra help. We have physical therapy, occupational therapy and a special teacher in our home every week to help us help her.

Beachie as long as your pediatrician says your child's weight is fine I'd be beyond irritated if others were trying to step in. We struggle with weight and work so hard to get her to gain so when people say "oh she's so tiny" it makes me twitch a little.

My DD Farrah is 16 months...13 adjusted. She was born at 26w3d, she had a very long NICU stay, but otherwise she has no problems (except she was a bit small, but not anymore) and has met each of her milestones (almost always) on time. My mom used to work with disabled children, and we sometimes got to meet them. Those kiddos really go through a lot, and I have nothing but admiration for their parents, who all seem to have the patience of a saint, and I cannot even imagine what struggles the parents have to go through on a daily basis.

Ds is 12 months. He has a MPA. Height and weight in 25th percentile and head is in the 15th. We're constantly getting people telling us how small he is. Or how tiny his head is. Doesn't bother me much anymore as he's above average on all his milestones.

4 year old dd with spastic dyplegic cerebral palsy and strabismus of the left eye. She is about a year behind physically and in gross motor and speech. She's ahead cognitive wise though. She receives speech and physical therapy three times a week at preschool. She's currently in an inclusion classroom and we hope to have her mainstream by first grade. She was born at 31w4d and had a stroke inutero which caused the cp. She wears braces on her legs (ankle to hip) and glasses. I also have an almost 1yr old dd born at 37w1d who is a typically developing child. Ch I'm pregnant with a boy, due November 5, being csectioned October 17th.

All three of my boys are adopted. 2 from foster care, 1 private...the our youngest and oldest are full bio siblings. We knew eventually while adopting our youngest that his birthmothers toddler would be removed.

Man I went through the same with my first. And she is still skinny (almost 3) and eats like a bird. That's just her!!! She is happy and healthy. The comments are irritating!! Now I have a chubby #2 and all I hear is "that baby is hungry, isn't she on solids yet?!". No! She is only 3 months old! I feel ya!! Oh and 2 dd's, both 'typical'.

Both my stepsons have a Petite Mal Seizure disorder (Moms side of family has them). We have had custody since they were 4 & 6. The oldest who is now 18 wasn't diagnosed until living with us. He had 28 seizures in 20 mins. He has permanent brain damage but is doing well (diagnosed MR). My other son is 16 and his didn't start till he was about 8. He's also diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, a.d.d. just to name a few. He also has behavioral issues from his disability because he's in denial that he needs the help. Life in our house is interesting to say the least lol.

Ds1 was first diagnosed with Apraxia at 18 months, then upgraded to a severe phonological disorder by 2. He still has speech issues at 8 as well as difficulty with fine motor skills. Ds2 is very small for his age (6) and we are just beginning our journey on that. Dd had torticolis and placephaligy (spelling is so off, but essentially she has a flat head, wore a helmet for 6 months which didn't help - very rare not to have it help - and now at 2 it's not noticeable except when I try to center her ponytail, lol). All 3 kids are super bright, intelligent, well-behaved, and great sense of humor! I consider each of their challenges to be so incredibly minor compared to others, I feel very lucky to have just these minor bumps in the road for them!

Awe, my daughter is three months and has pretty bad flat head. I keep her off of it except at night, but her pedi said if it doesn't get better by her 4 month appt. she'll need a helmet. She was fine until she started sleeping in a rock n play.

My daughter has hip dysplasia. She was diagnosed at 6 months, had surgery at 6.5 months and wore a spica cast for 3 months. Now at 17 months she wears a brace at night. She is doing well but it's a long journey and we won't know if she'll need another surgery for a few years yet.
